Crumbling Paper: Little Jimmy (strip #9)
Here’s an example I scanned of Jimmy aka Little Jimmy from February 22, 1925 by Jimmy Swinnerton. Check out that crazy form-fitting word balloon in the first panel. This example is much later than the previous ones I posted… note that the traditional recurring punchline having Jimmy getting his ass beat by his papa in the last panel seems to have been phased out.

The Taylor Morse Collection
Kirk Taylor was nice enough to pass on this interesting link. He has put up a website on largely forgotten cartoonist Wesley Morse. The website features images from the Taylor Morse collection, a collection of art found in the personal scrapbooks of 1920’s chorus girl Avonne Taylor, who inspired the artwork. Morse is best known for creating and drawing Bazooka Joe, and for drawing many of the better-drawn Tijuana bibles (Morse is featured in Craig Yoe‘s recent book Clean Cartoonist’s Dirty Drawings
Mystery Artist Found
Reader Steve Walker sent me an update on the mystery artist who made the below cartoon he had sent in and I wrote about here… his search has concluded it is by William Gropper.
It still could use a good caption… please contribute any you think of in the comments.
